- We often hear that AM is a time saver : but how?
We make prototypes quickly, reduce cycle and assembly times. Our goal here is to save time and further to improve our products. Let’s have a look at some examples:
How can we talk about additive manufacturing and saving time without mentionning rapid prototyping ? That is our first example:
In the fields of engineering and R&D, prototyping is a very important part of a project. Being able to manufacture it with an additive manufacturing process, offers the possibility of eliminating certain steps such as injection molding or tool machining, thus saving time.
Rapid prototyping allows us to design by iteration. The 3D model can easily be readjusted after printing. With advanced design software, you can even save time during the modelling.
